Inference

High debts and difficulties in interest payments are the sole reasons for floating this issue but this issue is steeply priced despite company has not even break-evened. The only comparable peer to the company is Wonderla Holidays and despite being profitable during the time of its IPO, the same was offered below 6-times its book value.

Running amusement parks is a capital intensive business and the same requires regular and periodic investments to sustain growing visitors.

Having a glance its financials, valuation of this issue appears stretched and not at all justified for a company in its initial stage of operations.

To cut a long story short, Adlabs shall take at least a few years to turn profitably (provided everything sails well) and instead of investing in a company and keeping-on expecting it to perform well, it is always better to wait and watch and entry to be made when this company starts performing well (even at higher levels).So, presently I shall skip this issue.

Team Work - Meaning and Tips for better Team Work

A single brain is not always capable of making key decisions on its own. To come up with an efficient solution, an individual requires the help and advice of others. A team is established when individuals get together on a common platform with the common goal of completing a task. To guarantee optimum compatibility, team members should ideally come from similar backgrounds and have a single aim. To provide their best, the team members must complement each other and function as a single unit in tight cooperation. "There is no I in Team Work," as the saying goes, and each member must put the needs of his team first. Personal interests must take a second seat.

Teamwork is defined as the sum of each team member's efforts toward the fulfilment of the team's goal. In other words, any team's backbone is its ability t

Scientists discover a new theory / The fundamental property of light – 150 years after Maxwell

Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
